Dutch Woof Vs. Dutch Wealth Roof
Roofing is typically is dependent on the type of weather a region experiences. This is why when you look at different architectural roofing styles they are typical the same throughout a district. One type of roofing style is the Dutch hip roof also known as, Dutch gable roof. This roof type is great for areas that have a lot of rain or snow.

A Dutch gable roof, is a combination of two roof types: the hip and gable. "A Dutch gable roof combines… four sloping sides, and tops it with a gable roof." (Dutch Gable Roof, 2012) This allows for benefits of both styles of roofing. The four sloping sides allow for easy removal of rain and snow. The Dutch gable roof is also, "very resistant to areas pertaining high winds, hurricanes and tornadoes."

    Optimizing Gutter Area

    As we were approaching the problem of how to design a gutter which would carry the most water from the roof with a 12 inch wide piece of material, we came up with a thesis; the length of the roof can be any number according to the roof sections, the maximum volume of the gutter will then depend on the maximum area out of the shapes' side (flank) with respect to the 12in-wide-material piece. Thus the areas of four different shapes were found. By process of elimination, the optimal area for each shape was found by deriving the equations of area as well as basic geometry. The shapes used for this project were a semi-circle, triangle, square, and rectangle. For all four shapes we maximized the area rather than the volume because the length of the gutter system does not play an important factor.…

    Seamless Gutters Research Paper

    Quick to install: With ordinary gutters, you have to install many pieces of gutter for a single section of roof. Even for professional installation, this can be quite tedious and time consuming. Not only do the individual lengths have to be fastened into place, chances are good that at least some gutter pieces will have to be custom-cut on sight so that you have gutters of the correct length. In contrast, seamless gutters are made on site, at your house, from a large coil of gutter material. This allows the professionals who are doing the installation to have access to gutters that are significantly longer than standard gutter lengths.…

This will be done by analysing the various literary techniques the author employed and their impact on readers.

    Loft Insulation

    Loft Insulation

    Loft insulation reduces heat loss by the materials used for insulation preventing the movement of the heated air particles , this is done by the fibres not letting the warm air escape. The energy is transferred by a conductor being the ceiling , into the loft. Without loft insulation a convection current takes place where the warm air moves through the roof space after the air at the base of the loft warms up leaving the air to escape through the roof (tiles). When the loft is insulated it is considered as a blanket trapping rising heat in the house. The convection current does not allow the uninsulated lofts to move the air in the insulation. Heat energy in the loft is transferred by the convection currents to the roof tiles. It has trapped air which is a poor insulator as warm particles are less dense. There are four basic types of insulating materials used are matting,loose-fill,blown insulation is made of fire and rigid insulating boards.…

    Spanish Art: The Early Renaissance

    Some have seen this plain brown wrapper approach as a form of security, hiding interior treasures from the view of potential thieves. Others have seen it as a part of a dating from the desert tents of nomadic Arabs, blank canvas tent flaps exposed to the sun, sand, and wind, but tent interior filled with luxurious hangings, beautiful rugs, and colorful cushions. Moorish buildings and their interiors share some elements not generally found elsewhere. Among these are horseshoe arch, its name explains itself. Ogee arch, an S shaped curve both sides of the arch have combinations of convex and concave sections, mostly used in Christian architecture of the middle ages throughout Europe. And lastly the scalloped arch, or also called the multifoil arch, a series of small curves within the main curve of the arch. Scalloped arches are mostly seen in the Mughal architecture of India, mosques and also in secular buildings and even Christian ones. While the moors in southern Spain were building their elegant palaces and impressive mosques, the Christians in northern Spain were building in a style closely related to the Gothic work we have seen north of the Pyrenees. Two major expressions of the style were castles and…
